Christmas Cookie Fudge

Made with just 5 ingredients, these Christmas Cookie Fudge tastes so much like Christmas Sugar Cookies. Santa will love these, and you will love serving this holiday fudge! 

This Christmas Cookie Fudge brings together two holiday favorites in one sweet, creamy treat. It has the rich, smooth texture of classic fudge with the festive flavor of your favorite Christmas Cookies in every bite. It is easy to make, cuts into pretty squares, and is perfect for cookie trays, neighbor gifts, and holiday parties.

It is a great addition to Santa’s Cookie Plate on Christmas Eve!

Why This Recipe Works

• No baking required. You get all the flavor of Christmas cookies without rolling, cutting, or baking batch after batch, and it takes just a few minutes of hands-on time.
• Tastes like a decorated sugar cookie. Sugar cookie mix and Christmas sprinkles give every square that classic holiday cookie flavor and look.
• Perfect for gifting. The fudge sets up creamy and sliceable, so it cuts into neat squares that pack easily into tins and boxes.

Ingredient Notes:

• Sweetened Condensed Milk – Melts with the white chocolate to make the fudge creamy and smooth and sets it up firm without a candy thermometer.
• White Chocolate Chips – Form the sweet, creamy base of the fudge and help it set into firm, sliceable squares.
• Sugar Cookie Mix – Adds the buttery, sugar cookie flavor that gives this fudge its name.
• Unsalted Butter – Adds richness and helps keep the fudge smooth and glossy.
• Christmas Sprinkles – Half is stirred in for color throughout, and half goes on top for a festive finish.
• Vanilla Extract – Rounds out the sweetness and boosts the cookie flavor.

Directions:

Step One – Prepare a 2 quart or 9×9 casserole dish with parchment paper. Leaving overhang on the pan.

Step Two – Combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, and unsalted butter in a saucepan. Allow to cook over medium heat stirring continuously.

Step Three – Once melted and smooth add in ¼ cup of Christmas sprinkles and the vanilla extract then mix.

Pour into your prepared casserole dish and top with the remaining sprinkles.

Step Four – Place in the refrigerator to chill for 3-4 hours until firm.

Step Five – Once firm use overhang to remove fudge from the pan and then slice and serve.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overheating the white chocolate, which makes it grainy and hard to stir.
• Using evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk, which keeps the fudge from setting.
• Cutting the fudge before it is completely firm, which makes messy, soft squares.
• Skipping the parchment, which makes the fudge stick to the dish.

How to store fudge:

Fudge is best stored in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper if you have to stack it.

I prefer to keep my fudge in the refrigerator, as leaving it on the counter softens it up. If you like a softer fudge, you can leave it on the counter.

Fudge either way should last about 7-10 days. You will probably eat the fudge faster than that time frame though.

Can this be made in the microwave?

With the cookie dough mix being used, you really need to cook this on the stovetop. You need that mix to blend in well along with the white chocolate chips to melt.
